During the university Spring semester of 2020, we engaged with 115 undergraduate students from the University of Technology, Sydney on our Fennell Bay project. In this Capstone course, students were provided access to the economic feasibility of the site and tasked to develop a business case and masterplan based on their economic (micro and macro), financial and social research.
The best student proposals were shortlisted and presented to a Landcom panel of experts comprised of development and Executive General Management representatives. Representatives from NSW Public Service Commission also attended to promote the NSW Government Graduate Program, reinforcing the opportunities for students to gain employment post their studies.
In the first semester of 2021, we engaged with 269 undergraduate and post-graduate students from the University of Sydney and Western Sydney University on our Macarthur Gardens North project. Students looked at the site from an urban design perspective, investigating urban solutions to challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and urban heat.
These student projects were also presented to a panel of Landcom representatives in early June 2021, with the best proposals awarded certificates of achievement from Landcom.
